CHICAGO, Aug. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Deerfield Capital Corp. (NYSE AMEX: DFR) ("DFR" or the "Company") today announced the results of operations for its second quarter ended June 30, 2009. Second Quarter 2009 Summary -- Net income attributable to DFR for the quarter totaled $52.9 million, or $7.85 per diluted common share, including a gain of $29.6 million, or $4.39 per diluted share, as a result of the deconsolidation of Market Square CLO Ltd. ("Market Square CLO"). -- Core earnings for the quarter totaled $5.5 million, or $0.82 per diluted common share. Core earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure which primarily reflects GAAP earnings excluding certain non-cash and special charges and income tax effects (see reconciliation of non-GAAP measure attached). -- Unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, unencumbered residential mortgage backed securities ("RMBS") and net equity in financed RMBS totaled approximately $61.7 million at quarter end. -- Assets under management ("AUM") totaled $9.9 billion at July 1, 2009. -- Debt in the form of trust preferred securities amended to decrease net worth covenant contained therein from $175 million to $50 million and to provide that the measurement date for such covenant will begin on September 30, 2012. Commenting on the second quarter results, Jonathan Trutter, Chief Executive Officer, said, "The achievement of positive financial results in net income and core earnings for the second consecutive quarter was primarily driven by the following factors: first, investment advisory fees generated from the $9.9 billion of assets we manage; second, an overall increase in the values of assets held in our principal investing portfolio; third, solid net interest income from our principal investing portfolio; and, finally, the reduction in overall expenses from our cost savings initiatives." Trutter added, "We believe that our current quarter results along with the recently announced permanent amendment of our trust preferred debt significantly stabilizes our financial condition and will help pave the way for our ongoing focus on growing top line revenue." Second Quarter Financial Overview The results for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 reflect the Company's second consecutive quarter of positive net income and core earnings. The overall lower interest rate environment reduced the Company's cost of financing, which was the most significant driver in the Company's improved net interest income and core earnings as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. The improvement in net interest income was partially offset by the expected decline in investment advisory fees. Total expenses increased as compared to the first quarter of 2009 primarily due to the required consolidation of Deerfield Pegasus Loan Capital LP ("DPLC"), the Company's investment venture with Pegasus Capital Advisors L.P. ("Pegasus"), which incurred expenses of $3.6 million during the second quarter of 2009. These expenses were paid for by DPLC and are consolidated for GAAP financial reporting purposes. A net loss of $2.9 million related to the portion of DPLC the Company does not own is added back at the bottom of our statement of operations as "Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest" in arriving at "Net income attributable to DFR." Excluding the DPLC expenses, total expenses were relatively flat with an increase of $0.1 million as compared to the first quarter of 2009. The $58.7 million of net other income and gain for the second quarter was primarily a result of the deconsolidation of Market Square CLO and the improvement in asset values, which contributed $29.6 million and $29.1 million to net income, respectively. These amounts are excluded from core earnings. The net gain on the deconsolidation of Market Square CLO represented the reversal of the losses in excess of the amount at risk that had previously been required to be recorded in accordance with GAAP. As of June 30, 2009, none of the Market Square CLO assets, liabilities or equity are included in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet; however, all of the financial impacts to the condensed consolidated statement of operations from the previous consolidation of Market Square CLO were recognized through June 30, 2009. The net income attributable to DFR for the quarter totaled $52.9 million, or $7.85 per diluted common share, an improvement of $41.4 million as compared to the net income attributable to DFR of $11.5 million, or $1.72 per diluted common share, during the first quarter of 2009. During the second quarter, DFR also had positive core earnings of $5.5 million, or $0.82 per share, an increase of $0.5 million, or 10.0 percent, as compared to the $5.0 million, or $0.75 per share, of core earnings generated during the first quarter of 2009. Net interest income totaled $8.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $1.6 million, or 23.5 percent, as compared to $6.8 million in the first quarter of 2009. The overall lower interest rate environment during the quarter resulted in a $1.3 million reduction in interest expense as compared to the first quarter of 2009. While interest income attributable to the Company's RMBS portfolio declined by $0.3 million, the corporate debt investments interest income increased by $0.6 million as compared to the first quarter of 2009. Market Square CLO contributed net interest income of $1.8 million for the second quarter, consisting of $3.0 million of interest income, less $1.2 million of interest expense. The deconsolidation of Market Square CLO as of June 30, 2009 will result in decreased net interest income in the financial results of future periods. Investment advisory fees totaled $4.0 million in the quarter, a decline of $0.7 million, or 14.9 percent, as compared to $4.7 million in the first quarter of 2009. The decrease in investment advisory fees was primarily the result of the breach of certain overcollateralization tests contained in the indentures governing certain of the collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs") that the Company manages. Pursuant to the terms of the Company's CLO management agreements, all or a portion of the Company's subordinated management fees may be deferred if, among other things, overcollateralization tests and other structural protections built into the CLOs are breached and cash flows are diverted from the payment of management fees and other expenses to the prepayment of principal of the debt securities issued by the CLOs. Breaches of overcollateralization tests may occur if, for example, the issuers of the collateral held by the CLOs default on or defer payment of principal or the ratings assigned to such collateral are downgraded below a specified threshold. Subordinated investment advisory fees declined by $0.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the first quarter of 2009. The Company expects its subordinated investment advisory fees to continue to be deferred in the near term. However, over time and with improvement in market conditions, the Company expects the CLOs to regain compliance with the overcollateralization tests and, subject to the satisfaction of certain other conditions, the Company would expect to recoup at least a portion and potentially substantially all of the deferred subordinated management fees and to receive future CLO subordinated management fees on a current basis. The provision for loan losses was $9.1 million for the quarter as compared to $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2009. This quarter's provision for loan losses consisted of $8.8 million related to loans held in DFR Middle Market CLO Ltd. ("DFR MM CLO") and $0.3 million related to commercial real estate loans. Expenses totaled $12.0 million for the quarter, an increase of $3.7 million, or 44.6 percent, as compared to $8.3 million in the first quarter of 2009. The increase was primarily the result of $3.6 million of expenses related to DPLC, $3.2 million of which were one-time organizational and structuring fees. Excluding the $3.6 million of expenses, which were borne by DPLC and required to be consolidated into the financial results of the Company, expenses were nearly flat with a $0.1 million, or 1.2 percent, increase as compared to the first quarter of 2009. Other income and gain (loss) was a net gain of $58.7 million in the quarter as compared to a net gain of $10.5 million in the first quarter of 2009. The improvement in the current quarter primarily resulted from the deconsolidation of Market Square CLO, which contributed $29.6 million of gain. This gain represents the reversal of losses in excess of the amount of the Company's investment at risk, required to be recorded in prior periods The Company also had net gains of $24.9 million related to the Company's loan portfolio. These net gains largely consisted of unrealized appreciation in the assets held in Market Square CLO. The Company's future results will not reflect changes in the values of loans held in Market Square CLO as a result of its deconsolidation. The Company also experienced net gains in the remainder of its principal investing portfolio of $4.2 million. Trust Preferred Debt Amendment As previously announced, on July 31, 2009, the Company entered into three supplemental indentures (the "Supplemental Indentures") with the holders of the trust preferred securities issued by each of Deerfield Capital Trust I, Deerfield Capital Trust II and Deerfield Capital Trust III (collectively the "Trust Preferred Securities"). The Supplemental Indentures amend the consolidated net worth covenants (the "Net Worth Covenants") contained in the indentures governing the Trust Preferred Securities to (i) permanently decrease the net worth required by the Net Worth Covenants from $175 million to $50 million and (ii) provide that the initial measurement date for compliance with the Net Worth Covenants will be September 30, 2012. These provisions supersede the temporary waiver of the Net Worth Covenants obtained from the holders of the Trust Preferred Securities in November 2008. The Supplemental Indentures also contain provisions prohibiting the Company from incurring additional indebtedness and declaring additional dividends and distributions on its capital stock, in each case for the life of the Trust Preferred Securities and except as specifically permitted under the terms of the Supplemental Indentures. AUM As of July 1, 2009, the Company's AUM totaled approximately $9.9 billion held in 28 collateralized debt obligations ("CDOs"), one other investment vehicle and six separately managed accounts. Investment Portfolio Total invested assets decreased by $226.8 million, or 27.0 percent, to $612.9 million as of June 30, 2009 as compared to the end of the first quarter of 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to the deconsolidation of Market Square CLO. Liquidity Unencumbered RMBS and unrestricted cash and cash equivalents aggregated $45.1 million at June 30, 2009. In addition, net equity in the financed RMBS portfolio (including associated interest rate swaps), excluding the unencumbered RMBS included above, totaled $16.6 million at quarter end. In total, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, unencumbered RMBS and net equity in its financed RMBS portfolio of $61.7 million as of June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, the fair value of its Agency RMBS and non-Agency RMBS portfolios were $308.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively. About the Company DFR, through its subsidiary, Deerfield Capital Management LLC, manages client assets, including bank loans and other corporate debt, RMBS, government securities and asset-backed securities. In addition, DFR has a principal investing portfolio comprised of fixed income investments, including bank loans and other corporate debt and RMBS.

AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURE The Company believes that core earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, is a useful metric for evaluating and analyzing its performance. The calculation of core earnings, which the Company uses to compare financial results from period to period, eliminates the impact of certain non-cash and special charges and income tax. Core earnings provided herein may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies as it is a non-GAAP financial measure and may therefore be defined differently by other companies. Core earnings includes the earnings from the Company's consolidated variable interest entity ("VIE"), DFR MM CLO, and from Market Square CLO, which was a consolidated VIE until the Company sold all of its preference shares in Market Square CLO and deconsolidated that entity as of June 30, 2009. Core earnings is not indicative of cash flows received from these VIEs.
